Risperidone and ocaperidone are new benzisoxazol antipsychotics with particularly beneficial effects in schizophrenia. We report a comprehensive study on the in vitro and in vivo receptor binding profile of the new compounds, compared with haloperidol, and on the drug effects on monoamine and metabolite levels in various brain areas. The in vitro receptor binding and monoamine uptake inhibition profiles, comprising 29 receptors and four monoamine uptake systems, revealed that ocaperidone and risperidone bound primarily, and with the highest affinity thus far reported, to serotonin 5HT2 receptors (Ki values of 0.14 and 0.12 nM, respectively). Further, the drugs bound at nanomolar concentrations to the following receptors (Ki values, in nM, for ocaperidone and risperidone, respectively): alpha 1-adrenergic (0.46 and 0.81), dopamine D2 (0.75 and 3.0), histamine H1 (1.6 and 2.1), and alpha 2-adrenergic (5.4 and 7.3). In contrast, haloperidol showed nanomolar affinity for D2 receptors (1.55) and haloperidol-sensitive sigma sites (0.84) only. The in vitro binding affinity of ocaperidone, risperidone, and haloperidol for D2 receptors was exactly the same when measured in membranes from rat striatum, nucleus accumbens, tuberculum olfactorium, and human kidney cells expressing the cloned human D2 receptor (long form). In vivo binding in rats, using intravenous administration of [3H]spiperone, revealed very potent occupation by ocaperidone and risperidone of 5HT2 receptors in the frontal cortex (ED50 of 0.04-0.03 mg/kg); in this respect, they were 6, 30, and 100 times more potent than ritanserin, haloperidol, and clozapine, respectively. Ocaperidone occupied D2 receptors in the striatum and the nucleus accumbens with similar potency as did haloperidol (ED50 of 0.14-0.16 mg/kg). Risperidone revealed biphasic inhibition curves in the latter brain areas, indicating that [3H] spiperone labeled both 5HT2 receptors (occupied by risperidone at less than 0.04 mg/kg) and D2 receptors (risperidone ED50 of approximately 1 mg/kg). In the tuberculum olfactorium, 5HT2 and D2 receptors were also distinguished with risperidone. The ED50 values for occupation of the latter were for ocaperidone and risperidone 2 times lower and for haloperidol 2 times higher than in the striatum. Ocaperidone, risperidone, and haloperidol readily increased the levels of the dopamine metabolites 3,4-dihydroxybenzene acetic acid and homovanillic acid in the striatum, the nucleus accumbens, the tuberculum olfactorium, and, to some extent, the frontal cortex. Dose-response curve shapes were markedly different; with ocaperidone maximal levels were reached at 0.16 mg/kg and maintained to 10 mg/kg; with risperidone the levels tended to increase continuously up to 10 mg/kg. Haloperidol produced dome-shaped curves (maximum at 0.16-0.63 mg/kg).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) 1D/1B receptors have gained particular interest as potential targets for treatment of migraine and depression. G-protein coupling and other intrinsic properties of the human 5-HT(1D) receptor were studied using a baculovirus-based expression system in Sf9 cells. Coexpression of the human 5-HT(1D) receptor with Galpha(i1), alpha(i2), alpha(i3), or Galpha(o)-proteins and Gbeta(1)gamma(2)-subunits reconstituted a Gpp(NH)p-sensitive, high affinity binding of [(3)H]5-HT to this receptor, whereas the Galpha(q)beta(1)gamma(2) heterotrimer was ineffective in this respect. Competition of [(3)H]5-HT binding by various compounds confirmed that coexpression of the human 5-HT(1D) receptor with Galpha(i/o)beta(1)gamma(2) reconstitutes the receptor in a high affinity agonist binding state, having the same pharmacological profile as the receptor expressed in mammalian cells. Binding of the antagonist ocaperidone to the human 5-HT(1D) receptor in coupled or noncoupled state was analyzed. This compound competed with [(3)H]5-HT binding more potently on the human 5-HT(1D) receptor in the noncoupled state, showing its inverse agonistic character. Ocaperidone acted as a competitive inhibitor of [(3)H]5-HT binding when tested with the coupled receptor form but not so when tested with the noncoupled receptor preparation. Finally, [(35)S]GTPgammaS binding experiments using the inverse agonist ocaperidone revealed a high level of constitutive activity of the human 5-HT(1D) receptor. Taken together, the reconstitution of the human 5-HT(1D) receptor-G-protein coupling using baculovirus-infected Sf9 cells made possible the assessment of coupling specificity and the detection of different binding states of the receptor induced by G-protein coupling or ligand binding.
